Where capital markets stocks stand now
As of 12 October 2026, Capital Markets (KCE) ranks #83 of the 115 groups Zensei tracks by one-month return against the S&P 500. It is losing its lead. It built a 3.0-point advantage over the S&P 500 across the longer, time-shifted window, but over the past month it has slipped 7.1 points behind the market — the Cooling quadrant of the rotation map.
On the shorter tape, KCE's momentum is weakening: the intraday trend that carried the move is cooling across the shorter windows. KCE's relative-strength line has broken below its long-term average — the long-term outperformance trend is no longer intact. Both signals point the same direction here: the market is not rewarding this group on either horizon.
The exposure comes via SPDR S&P Capital Markets ETF, whose 65 tracked holdings are led by Wisdomtree Inc, Marketaxess Holdings Inc and Hamilton Lane Inc. Weighted by portfolio, the fund's holdings trade at roughly 19.0× earnings. The thing to watch from here is whether this is a pause or a handoff: cooling groups sometimes reset and reclaim leadership, but a deepening one-month deficit usually means rotation has moved on.
As of , these are the largest capital markets stocks in KCE by fund weight, and the strongest over the past month. Size and recent return are measurements, not recommendations.
